Chapter 458 - Chapter 366: Tsunade: That Familiar Feeling Has Returned

Uehara Naraku was rather busy.

At the moment, he was like someone playing a nested doll game behind the scenes, slowly revealing a layer to the Ninja Alliance, while also casually placing a lid on Uchiha Madara's head.

Uehara really felt he was so busy!

How could Uehara Naraku bear to let Uchiha Madara return to the Netherworld!

If Uchiha Madara went back, how would Otsutsuki Kaguya be resurrected! Even now, everything, the most important goal is to fully resurrect Uchiha Madara!

Clearly, all of this was unknown to Uchiha Madara.

After reassuring and deceiving Uchiha Madara, Uehara Naraku looked at the tide of emotions among the present ninjas and spoke with a light chuckle: "Why, shouldn't everyone applaud my strategy?"

"..."

Everyone fell into silence.

To be honest.

The ninjas present felt worse than riding a roller coaster.

If it was just Uehara Naraku defecting on the battlefield, it could be understandable, but for everything to be orchestrated by Uehara Naraku behind the scenes, it was a bit overwhelming!

"General, you must be joking, right?"

A Hidden Sand ninja was still in disbelief, looking at Uehara Naraku with outstretched hands, pleading: "Don't joke about this! You were clearly fighting so hard, you saved us..."

Because Uehara Naraku had been so brave in previous battles, he had even saved the lives of many ninjas, the entire Ninja Alliance almost had a deep respect for him.

It was precisely because of Uehara Naraku's presence that they made it this far.

Now, Uehara Naraku suddenly revealing himself to be the mastermind, how could these ninjas accept this!

"Yeah, General!"

"Lord Uehara, it must be a joke!"

"Hey, Uehara, are you kidding?"

Some ninjas couldn't help but widen their eyes, rushing over from all directions, even Killer Bee joined in the commotion.

"I was just worried about not having enough spectators."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand dismissively, and upon seeing Killer Bee in the crowd, suddenly said: "Oh, I almost forgot, Eight-tailed Jinchuriki Killer Bee, it was my manipulation that allowed you to return to the Ninja Alliance alive!"

Uehara Naraku winked at Killer Bee, smiling as he spoke: "Because you brought back intelligence advantageous to me from the enemy's lair, which allowed the Five Kage to confidently grant me the power to command the Ninja Alliance."

"..."

Killer Bee instantly fell into silence.

Damn it, this dead liar, he got tricked!

The next moment, the former Eight-tailed Jinchuriki silently drew his ninja blade, charging towards Uehara Naraku!

Silence was indeed the precursor to Killer Bee's rage!

But just as Killer Bee got close to Uehara Naraku, he was easily kicked back by Uehara Naraku!

Uehara Naraku shook his head, sighed lightly, and said: "Really, the reason you survived was due to my great mercy. I'm your benefactor, yet you point a blade at me, truly an ungrateful person!"

"...Damn!"

Killer Bee squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.

Uehara Naraku shook his head, shifting his gaze from Killer Bee to the crowd looking distressed, the smile on his face gradually becoming uncontrollable.

"Everyone, don't look so grim, try to be a bit happier!"

Uehara Naraku said words that made everyone present look even more uncomfortable, but he continued to smile and said: "If you all stay silent like this, it'll make things awkward for me..."

"Uehara Naraku!"

Gaara gritted his teeth angrily, speaking in a low voice: "Is it true... that you're really behind all of this?"

Why does this person always do this!

Whenever Gaara finally regained a little fondness for Uehara Naraku, even planning to let go of past grievances and accept Uehara Naraku, this guy would do something even worse!

Why does it always have to be like this!

Does this man have no heart?

Couldn't he just be a normal person?

"Yes!"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead with a light laugh: "Everything, all of it, was orchestrated by me from behind the scenes! The Fourth Shinobi World War was initiated by my order to Yakushi Kabuto..."

The smile on Uehara Naraku's face grew wider as he looked at Orochimaru on the ground, continuing with a laugh: "It's really interesting! Actually, Mr. Orochimaru was killed by me long ago, only his soul remains resting in Ryuchi Cave.

Everything I had Yakushi Kabuto do was issued in the name of Mr. Orochimaru, it wasn't until after Mr. Orochimaru was resurrected that he realized someone had launched the Fourth Shinobi World War on his behalf, taking on the Five Great Countries as opponents..."

"What's the point of doing all of this..."

Tsunade felt a bit exhausted, she took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "Since you could solve everything quietly, why involve the Ninja Alliance just to watch your performance?"

Damn it, this was sheer disaster!

Clearly, Uehara Naraku knew Orochimaru's whereabouts, even Orochimaru's resurrection and becoming the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki were under his control, so why incite a Ninja War and drag all these innocent ninjas into it!

"No, this was all a necessary step."

Uehara Naraku looked at Tsunade and shook his head, sighing softly: "If I hadn't done this, if I hadn't made Mr. Orochimaru an enemy to the world, Mr. Orochimaru might not have been willing to become the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki!"

"..."

Everyone present was at a loss.

At this moment, they didn't know whether to feel sorry for themselves or Orochimaru, as they all seemed to be just pawns in Uehara Naraku's hands.

Uchiha Madara's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

This little guy... played a harsh game!

Manipulating the Ninja Alliance on one hand and Orochimaru and the Reanimation Legion on the other; is this the legendary playing against oneself?

Now it seems that Uehara himself is fine…

The faces of this Ninja Alliance look as if they've been played with.

Every ninja couldn't accept this, the anger on their faces was almost unbearable. No one could tolerate such a thing!

Being manipulated like a fool to partake in a war!

As it turns out, they were only used as tools to coerce Orochimaru into becoming the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki!

They even regarded the manipulator of this war as the hope for their victory in the war!

All the ninjas present glared angrily at Uehara Naraku, they really wanted to burn Uehara Naraku to ashes with the fury in their eyes!

How could Uehara Naraku be like this!

Damn annoying!

For Tsunade and Jiraiya…

It's back.

It's all back.

The feeling has returned.

Isn't this just like before when Uehara Naraku kept bringing up Lord Hanzo, always saying that as long as they defeated Akatsuki, the Hidden Rain Village would definitely help…

So when Konoha faced Akatsuki, they regarded Uehara Naraku and Hanzo of the Salamander as the strongest assistance in defeating Akatsuki…

Only to suddenly find out Hanzo had died years ago…

Moreover, Uehara Naraku was actually a core member of Akatsuki…

This feeling, really doesn't sit well.

Honestly speaking, anyone with a weak heart would really die on the spot.

Jiraiya slowly clenched the kunai in his hand, saying in a deep voice, "Even if Nagato revives because of this, he will never forgive you…"

"Oh, I've asked about this."

Uehara Naraku calmly looked at Jiraiya, speaking softly, "Lord Nagato said that no matter what I do, he will forgive me."

"..."

Everyone present couldn't help but fall into silence.

In the distance, Nagato was also watching as white light appeared on his body. As the user of the Rinnegan, he knew this was the sign of the Reincarnation Jutsu.

Nagato couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

At this moment, Nagato's heart was truly a mix of emotions.

Feeling relieved, yet he became a pawn for Uehara; feeling angry, Uehara did everything for his revival and to escape the deadly Rinnegan.

On the other side of the battlefield.

All the Ninja Alliance also saw the white light on Uchiha Madara's body.

Those who had seen the Reincarnation Jutsu quickly reacted, and Tsunade immediately issued her command loudly, "Everyone, attack Orochimaru immediately! We must stop him from resurrecting Uchiha Madara!"

Despite knowing it was hopeless, they had to do it!

Because Tsunade realized, Uchiha Madara's revival wasn't without reason. He wanted to revive to replace Orochimaru as the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, to commence the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan!

The plan that would plunge the entire Ninja World into Genjutsu!

No matter what, Uchiha Madara must not succeed!

Unfortunately, due to the battle with Orochimaru earlier, the Ninja Alliance had their chakra absorbed, now they couldn't even move!

Just as Tsunade saw only a few dozen standing up, a look of worry appeared on her forehead, with such forces trying to stop Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Madara...

It was like a fool's dream!

Especially since their chakra was almost depleted…

Just then, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly started running around the entire Ninja Alliance quickly, with each touch of a ninja, a red Tailed Beast Cloak would rapidly rise from that ninja!

"Granny Tsunade!"

Uzumaki Naruto's voice fell into Tsunade's ear, he shouted loudly, "Both Kuramas have agreed! They can all provide chakra for us… And all Tailed Beasts are willing to fight with us!"

At this moment, everyone reignited their hope.

Every ninja who received the Nine-tailed Chakra stood up, clenched their fists, and looked toward Uehara Naraku and Uchiha Madara's position.

In the gaps of running, Uzumaki Naruto fixedly stared at Uehara Naraku, shouting loudly, "Uehara, the Yin Nine-tailed told me everything! You used my mother's situation to threaten my dad, I will never forgive you!"

At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto's gaze was full of anger!

Obviously, the feeling of being deceived by Uehara once again was truly unsettling for the big-hearted Uzumaki Naruto!

Especially since this guy's actions were even worse than the last time!

"Has the Nine-tailed Chakra been dispersed?"

Uchiha Madara's brow slightly furrowed, he looked at Uehara Naraku beside him, asking aloud, "Though a rabble, with the Nine-tailed Chakra they have the ability to injure you, I haven't fully revived yet, can you handle them?"

This sentence was half-truth.

For Uchiha Madara, the situation couldn't be better.

Originally, in Uchiha Madara's plan, Uehara Naraku was to battle with the Ninja Alliance, allowing him to profit.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Uchiha Madara, chuckled lightly, and said, "Of course, there's no problem, I'll handle the Ninja Alliance, as for the nine Tailed Beasts outside, leave them to Madara, that won't be a burden for you, right?"

"Humph, suits me."

Uchiha Madara slowly nodded.

Uehara Naraku didn't mind Uchiha Madara's scheming, he suddenly slapped his palm on the ground, looking up at the charging Ninja Alliance, calmly speaking, "Then let them see what kind of enemy they face! Summoning Jutsu!"

Next moment…

Four figures appeared in front of Uehara Naraku!
